COMPASS Testing and Study Guide

COMPASS is the computerized instrument we use to determine placement into developmental classes when a student is not submitting valid ACT or SAT scores (scores less than three years old).

Placement Challenge - students who wish to challenge their ACT/SAT or COMPASS placement into DSP courses may do so once by taking the COMPASS test prior to the beginning of the term. A $20.00 fee is charged for the challenge test.

COMPASS Scheduling – to schedule to take the COMPASS test, contact the University Testing Center at (423)439-6708.  Students are required to bring a valid photo ID.  The COMPASS test is a computerized test and is not timed.  University Testing Center location:  Room 208, Old College of Medicine Building (building #12 on campus map.)
